I live in Zaporizhia. We had so hard 3 years. Most left the city, some died, some survived. If we can hold on a few more time i believe we will have peace and we will be happy in Ukraine. I love Russia and i love these young Russians. I am sorry but i don't see a good future for them. Only %10 of you could go to streets and protest this war and your evil criminal president, this war ended years ago. Why are you so afraid? If you think it is not my business, you are so wrong! Ukraine has some hope, but you are hopeless. You are already slaves of Putin and his friends. You have nothing to loose. That is the only difference between you and us. We dont want to be slaves of Putin, rather we die!
now these are some strong and meaningful words on the last day of the year!! Very true, respect and stay strong. We are with you here in my city, Brussels. All our support!
You and your culture will gradually disappear if you remain under the influence of the West with its propaganda and promotion of decadence and human depravity. I know what I'm talking about, I live in the west and what I'm talking about I see around me often. Man becomes the enemy of man.

Idk if it’s true or just a stereotype but I heard that Russians aren’t the most outwardly expressive, they might keep a straight face even if they’re happy
For many people, being happy means not having huge problems in life. They don't have to love the whole world and smile at everyone, happiness is a peaceful life.
@@MichaelaSchneider-j7omany Russians (like me and almost all my friends) are against Putin and the neo-Soviet regime, but since we live under a dictatorship, we cannot openly speak about what we think, and few people want to spend years of their lives in prison
@@MichaelaSchneider-j7o They weren't asked about the war and video actually says nothing about their political views.

Only then can Russia change for the better. Have a happy new year my friend.
Such a stupid thing to say from your point of view Why would an ordinary human being that wants nothing to do with Putin's war describe themselves as "cannon fodder"
When children in Ukraine go to school underground and jump out of bed in the middle of the night to take cover in the hall or a pantry, the "beauty" of the Russian people, who justify their government or say they aren't interested in politics, escapes me.
@@mikestaff3042Every nation has evil terrorist killers. But not every nation allows one to rule them and execute orders to invade and kill. It's the ordinary russians who do the killings and bombings, not pootin. And almost whole nation enables pootin, supports him. So blaming just pootin and kremlin mafia is not correct.
I feel so sad for all these young, impressionable Russians. Here in Canada a woman is going famous for swearing at Prime Minister Trudeau. Can you imagine if any Russian talked to Putin like that?
I know most normal Russian citizens are nice people and they have no influence of what Putin is doing in Ukraine and around the world. But Im surprised no one said "Barbarian" :)
Thats EXACTLY what most ppl said since Soviet collapsed, and every time I tried to inform and teach them about the reality of Ruzzkiez, I was censored. Stupid ppl like you, and the Ruzzkiez have always been around, and will always be around. Thats why the world is so dysfunctional.
Then you should not complain about Putin either when it comes to the Ukraine conflict... Jeffrey D. Sachs We are entering the end stage of the 30-year US neocon debacle in Ukraine. The neocon plan to surround Russia in the Black Sea region by NATO has failed. Decisions now by the US and Russia will matter enormously for peace, security, and wellbeing for the entire world. Four events have shattered the neocon hopes for NATO enlargement eastward, to Ukraine, Georgia, and onward. The first is straightforward. Ukraine has been devastated on the battlefield, with tragic and appalling losses. Russia is winning the war of attrition, an outcome that was predictable from the start but which the neocons and mainstream media deny till today. The second is the collapsing support in Europe for the US neocon strategy. Poland no longer speaks with Ukraine. Hungary has long opposed the neocons. Slovakia has elected an anti-neocon government. EU leaders (Macron, Meloni, Sanchez, Scholz, Sunak, and others) have disapproval ratings far higher than approvals. The third is the cut in US financial support for Ukraine. The Republican Party grassroots, several Republican Presidential candidates, and a growing number of Republican members of Congress, oppose more spending on Ukraine. In the stop-gap bill to keep the government running, Republicans stripped away new financial support for Ukraine. The White House has called for new aid legislation, but this will be an uphill fight. The fourth, and most urgent from Ukraine’s point of view, is the likelihood of a Russian offensive. Ukraine’s casualties are in the hundreds of thousands, and Ukraine has burned through its artillery, air defenses, tanks, and others heavy weapons. Russia is likely to follow with a massive offensive. The neocons have created utter disasters in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and now Ukraine. The US political system has not yet held the neocons to account, since foreign policy is carried out with little public or Congressional scrutiny to date. Mainstream media have sided with the slogans of the neocons. Ukraine is at risk of economic, demographic and military collapse. What should the US Government do to face this potential disaster? Urgently, it should change course. Britain advises the US to escalate, as Britain is stuck with 19th century imperial reveries. US neocons are stuck with imperial bravado. Cooler heads urgently need to prevail. President Joe Biden should immediately inform President Vladimir Putin that the US will end NATO enlargement eastward if the US and Russia reach a new agreement on security arrangements. By ending NATO expansion, the US can still save Ukraine from the policy debacles of the past 30 years. Biden should agree to negotiate a security arrangement of the kind, though not precise details, of President Putin’s proposals of December 17, 2021. Biden foolishly refused to negotiate with Putin in December 2021. It’s time to negotiate now. There are four keys to an agreement. First, as part of an overall agreement Biden should agree that NATO will not enlarge eastward, but not reverse the past NATO enlargement. NATO would of course not tolerate Russian encroachments in existing NATO states. Both Russia and the US would pledge to avoid provocations near Russia’s borders, including provocative missile placement, military exercises, and the like. Second, the new US - Russia security agreement should cover nuclear weapons. The US unilateral withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, followed by the placement of Aegis missiles in Poland and Romania, gravely inflamed tensions, which were further exacerbated by the US withdrawal from the Intermediate Nuclear Force (INF) Agreement in 2019 and Russia’s suspension of the New Start Treaty in 2023. Russian leaders have repeatedly pointed to US missiles near Russia, unconstrained by the abandoned ABM Treaty, as a dire threat to Russia’s national security. Third, Russia and Ukraine would agree on new borders, in which the overwhelmingly ethnic Russian Crimea and heavily ethnic Russian districts of eastern Ukraine would remain part of Russia. The border changes would be accompanied by security guarantees for Ukraine backed unanimously by the UN Security Council and other states such as Germany, Turkey, and India. Fourth, as part of a settlement, the US, Russia, and EU would re-establish trade, finance, cultural exchange, and tourist relations. It’s certainly time once again to hear Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky in US and European concert halls. Border changes are a last resort, and should be made only under UN Security Council auspices. They must never be an invitation to further territorial demands, such as by Russia regarding ethnic Russians in other countries. Yet borders change, and the US has recently backed two border changes. NATO bombed Serbia for 78 days until it relinquished the Albanian-majority region of Kosovo. In 2008, the US recognized Kosovo as a sovereign nation. The US similarly backed South Sudan’s insurgency to break away from Sudan. If Russia, Ukraine, or the US subsequently violated the new agreement, they would be challenging the rest of the world. As JFK observed, “even the most hostile nations can be relied upon to accept and keep those treaty obligations, and only those treaty obligations, which are in their own interest.” The US neocons carry much blame for undermining Ukraine’s 1991 borders. Russia did not claim Crimea until after the US-backed overthrow of Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Nor did Russia annex the Donbas after 2014, instead calling on Ukraine to honor the UN-backed Minsk II agreement, based on autonomy for the Donbas. The neocons preferred to arm Ukraine to retake the Donbas by force rather than grant the Donbas autonomy. The long-term key to peace in Europe is collective security as called for by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). According to OSCE agreements, OSCE member states “will not strengthen their security at the expense of the security of other States.” Neocon unilateralism undermined Europe’s collective security by pushing NATO enlargement without regard to third parties, notably Russia. Europe - including the EU, Russia, and Ukraine - needs more OSCE and less neocon unilateralism as key to lasting peace in Europe.

Odd. I can’t count all the times Russians just glare when people smile, wave, say “hi” or “hello”. They just glare. Throughout the world it’s a known thing, common knowledge in travel and business.
It may seem that way to you but their intention is usually not to be disrespectful. Just different culture. They don't wear their emotions on their sleeve n usually have RBF like me 😂

I see lots of you cheering this on... most of the people in the video are so serene: nothing bad happens. What about how the Ukrainians can describe themselves?
They're sincere, but also way too unbothered. Things need to get a lot worse in Moscow, before anything will change for the better. I suspect "hopelessness" will be a lot more common outside of Moscow and St Petersburg. Still, I like the way this reminds us that all of these people think of themselves as individuals, with the accountability this entails.
Fun and interesting. As an American. First things I think of Russians: 1. Beautiful women freezing their arses off. 2. People who live permanently under a devastating economy. Average income $600/a month. 3. People who own exotic pets. Please tell me how correct these stereotypes are.
Wtf do you mean as "women freezing their asses"??? Did you know there is warm clothes exist? Why do you think $600 in russia is the same thing as $600 in US? Pls think less, it's bad for you
2. Those times are gone. The incomes have risen significantly over the last couple of years. The army contract signing bonus is $15k-$35k (depends on the region), then minimum $2000 monthly (extra pay for each battle). Industries are trying to keep up and are raising their salaries - there's a lack of workforce, so they have to compete.
3. Have no idea what you mean about exotic pets. Bears, you mean? Yeah, some (very few) people keep them, but not in their city apartments. Other than that - about the same as in the West: cats, dogs mostly, something exotic is rare.
Honestly, I think it's very rude of the interviewer to ask "spiritual?" when the young woman says beauty. As if she wanted to say: "Ha, you're not beautiful! Or do you mean on the inside?"
I would have liked to see someone respond with 'pacifist' or 'anti-war' or something like that. And if someone had done that, I don't think they would have been censored by '1420', so I assume that no one had the courage to define themselves in those terms. Very sad...
I've always defined myself as a pacifist and spoke out against the war. However, if a random stranger approached me with that question, I highly doubt 'anti-war' is the first word that would come to mind (I'd probably just say I'm a teacher or a poet or name some quality of mine). People are not supposed to have just one identity, nothing sad about it.
'Centrifuge' wins 🏆
'Toxic' loses...
Great to hear that people look at themselves as individuals. It makes you feel hopeful for the future.

Jeffrey D. Sachs
We are entering the end stage of the 30-year US neocon debacle in Ukraine. The neocon plan to surround Russia in the Black Sea region by NATO has failed. Decisions now by the US and Russia will matter enormously for peace, security, and wellbeing for the entire world.
Four events have shattered the neocon hopes for NATO enlargement eastward, to Ukraine, Georgia, and onward. The first is straightforward. Ukraine has been devastated on the battlefield, with tragic and appalling losses. Russia is winning the war of attrition, an outcome that was predictable from the start but which the neocons and mainstream media deny till today.
The second is the collapsing support in Europe for the US neocon strategy. Poland no longer speaks with Ukraine. Hungary has long opposed the neocons. Slovakia has elected an anti-neocon government. EU leaders (Macron, Meloni, Sanchez, Scholz, Sunak, and others) have disapproval ratings far higher than approvals.
The third is the cut in US financial support for Ukraine. The Republican Party grassroots, several Republican Presidential candidates, and a growing number of Republican members of Congress, oppose more spending on Ukraine. In the stop-gap bill to keep the government running, Republicans stripped away new financial support for Ukraine. The White House has called for new aid legislation, but this will be an uphill fight.
The fourth, and most urgent from Ukraine’s point of view, is the likelihood of a Russian offensive. Ukraine’s casualties are in the hundreds of thousands, and Ukraine has burned through its artillery, air defenses, tanks, and others heavy weapons. Russia is likely to follow with a massive offensive.
The neocons have created utter disasters in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and now Ukraine. The US political system has not yet held the neocons to account, since foreign policy is carried out with little public or Congressional scrutiny to date. Mainstream media have sided with the slogans of the neocons.
Ukraine is at risk of economic, demographic and military collapse. What should the US Government do to face this potential disaster?
Urgently, it should change course. Britain advises the US to escalate, as Britain is stuck with 19th century imperial reveries. US neocons are stuck with imperial bravado. Cooler heads urgently need to prevail.
President Joe Biden should immediately inform President Vladimir Putin that the US will end NATO enlargement eastward if the US and Russia reach a new agreement on security arrangements. By ending NATO expansion, the US can still save Ukraine from the policy debacles of the past 30 years.
Biden should agree to negotiate a security arrangement of the kind, though not precise details, of President Putin’s proposals of December 17, 2021. Biden foolishly refused to negotiate with Putin in December 2021. It’s time to negotiate now.
There are four keys to an agreement. First, as part of an overall agreement Biden should agree that NATO will not enlarge eastward, but not reverse the past NATO enlargement. NATO would of course not tolerate Russian encroachments in existing NATO states. Both Russia and the US would pledge to avoid provocations near Russia’s borders, including provocative missile placement, military exercises, and the like.
Second, the new US - Russia security agreement should cover nuclear weapons. The US unilateral withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002, followed by the placement of Aegis missiles in Poland and Romania, gravely inflamed tensions, which were further exacerbated by the US withdrawal from the Intermediate Nuclear Force (INF) Agreement in 2019 and Russia’s suspension of the New Start Treaty in 2023. Russian leaders have repeatedly pointed to US missiles near Russia, unconstrained by the abandoned ABM Treaty, as a dire threat to Russia’s national security.
Third, Russia and Ukraine would agree on new borders, in which the overwhelmingly ethnic Russian Crimea and heavily ethnic Russian districts of eastern Ukraine would remain part of Russia. The border changes would be accompanied by security guarantees for Ukraine backed unanimously by the UN Security Council and other states such as Germany, Turkey, and India.
Fourth, as part of a settlement, the US, Russia, and EU would re-establish trade, finance, cultural exchange, and tourist relations. It’s certainly time once again to hear Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky in US and European concert halls.
Border changes are a last resort, and should be made only under UN Security Council auspices. They must never be an invitation to further territorial demands, such as by Russia regarding ethnic Russians in other countries. Yet borders change, and the US has recently backed two border changes. NATO bombed Serbia for 78 days until it relinquished the Albanian-majority region of Kosovo. In 2008, the US recognized Kosovo as a sovereign nation. The US similarly backed South Sudan’s insurgency to break away from Sudan.
If Russia, Ukraine, or the US subsequently violated the new agreement, they would be challenging the rest of the world. As JFK observed, “even the most hostile nations can be relied upon to accept and keep those treaty obligations, and only those treaty obligations, which are in their own interest.”
The US neocons carry much blame for undermining Ukraine’s 1991 borders. Russia did not claim Crimea until after the US-backed overthrow of Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Nor did Russia annex the Donbas after 2014, instead calling on Ukraine to honor the UN-backed Minsk II agreement, based on autonomy for the Donbas. The neocons preferred to arm Ukraine to retake the Donbas by force rather than grant the Donbas autonomy.
The long-term key to peace in Europe is collective security as called for by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). According to OSCE agreements, OSCE member states “will not strengthen their security at the expense of the security of other States.” Neocon unilateralism undermined Europe’s collective security by pushing NATO enlargement without regard to third parties, notably Russia. Europe - including the EU, Russia, and Ukraine - needs more OSCE and less neocon unilateralism as key to lasting peace in Europe.

glad she took no offence :) she looks good too ngl :)
All of us watching, curious 🧐
Sounds all sympatic. And in Ukrain the Soldiers say same things? Like calm or so?
Russia has many faces. Russian empire is one of it only
Do you call USA an Empire too?
Since they have at least 750 U.S. military bases in at least 80 countries and have been behind over 100 coups.
If YOU treat the country as an empire, it may look like an empire
@@asdilia693 Do you know what an empire is? Do you see Russia as an Empire but not USA?

My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

Bring Daniil back.
has anyone asked russians who they think shot down the Azerbaijanian plane?
Time for the younger generation to take over 🇷🇺 because they have a 💖
Why is the audio so bad? Super noisy.
Sleepy did look sleepy tbh 😅.
Spasiba
suprised no one said "dolbayeb"
I'd say that, or maybe in a bit more polite way. Btw, the last guy expressed something similar
One girl said ебанутая though (I know it's not quite the same)
Do this in a rural area. These are the wealthiest, Q&A the poorest if allowed.
How would results differ in your opinion?
Mine would be "truthful"
Ролики не про политику тоже интересны, я скучаю по России и интересно посмотреть как люди там меняются, о чем думают, кроме политики
Odd. I can’t count all the times Russians just glare when people smile, wave, say “hi” or “hello”. They just glare. Throughout the world it’s a known thing, common knowledge in travel and business.
its all in your head.
It may seem that way to you but their intention is usually not to be disrespectful. Just different culture. They don't wear their emotions on their sleeve n usually have RBF like me 😂
@@angelh3771 No. There is zero question on this. I had to deal with them in business too - not good at all. Nothing to mistake.
@@llllNEOllllchannel Their actions and behaviors were all in my head? No.
It's your misinterpretation
_Alive_ - was best.
That's Russia we like, just normal people! Enjoy and kick out your mad president.
It's so sad to see such a potential, beauty and creativity condamned to waste..
I hope so much for the better future for Russia and all the Russian nation.
America wants to LOVE them...WHY don't they understand?????
What are you trying to express there ?
Then love us the way we are
@@alexanderchubinsky9523 REAL russians are not putinista's! Targeting women and children deliberately tp try and break Ukraine's will to be free! I will NOT pray that YOUR family is targeted someday...
Oh... The friendly and peaceful "Americans"...
@@danniela You don't want a world without America protecting you hot shot! America has NOT used its power to steal even Iraqi or Kuwaiti oil but only to keep trade routes open! You have "short eyes" in that you only see your selfish wants and you take for granted the freedom you operate in that essentially is guaranteed by America!! china and russia both recently destroyed undersea cables...THAT is what they use their power for!!!
I am so happy that ignorance works so well over in Russia ,don’t know how they do it must be the amount of military spending keeping the prices so high ,l would love to have inflation back in the USA
I see lots of you cheering this on... most of the people in the video are so serene: nothing bad happens. What about how the Ukrainians can describe themselves?
They're sincere, but also way too unbothered. Things need to get a lot worse in Moscow, before anything will change for the better.
I suspect "hopelessness" will be a lot more common outside of Moscow and St Petersburg.
Still, I like the way this reminds us that all of these people think of themselves as individuals, with the accountability this entails.
Fun video, but the background noise...
Young Russians with a future
but probably not in Russia...
Alas, I don't see them having a long life.
Absolutely charming and disarming. There's hope for Russia.
Majority of these charming people voted for Putin.
@@ninaotan7811 The ones who were interviewed here? How do you know?
@@therealzilch Because this ones are the precious slavik youngsters that didn`t got recruted for SMO purpose ?
@@wolfgangemmerich7552 Was schlagst du vor? Die Russen ausrotten?
Nope
No one decided they were a pansexual cat? Based!
Thats a lot of different expressions for; "Irresponsible moron".
I've got yours : Simpleton.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Respect !!!
Everyone looks ..... COLD, Tired, beat down!
Prolonged winter is hard on people's spirit
Good to see they can actually answer questions.
So many good-looking young people. Severe editing?
They're just healthy
On word I have for Russians toward the war, indifferent
Безразличия нет
if you lived in Russia all your life you wouldn't really care either. btw I'm not Russian and haven't even been to Russia yet (unfortunately).
No one says "cancer". As a foreigner (not Ukrainian) that I would describe Russia.
Of course u mean as a bot
So how are you better than Hitler? 😂
We are all people trying to get by after all
Swimming!
Fun and interesting. As an American. First things I think of Russians:
1. Beautiful women freezing their arses off.
2. People who live permanently under a devastating economy. Average income $600/a month.
3. People who own exotic pets.
Please tell me how correct these stereotypes are.
$600?! 😅 dream on 😂😂😂😂😂
600 usd per month is considered as middle class.
And u r wrong about exotic pets.
Wtf do you mean as "women freezing their asses"???
Did you know there is warm clothes exist?
Why do you think $600 in russia is the same thing as $600 in US? Pls think less, it's bad for you
2. Those times are gone. The incomes have risen significantly over the last couple of years. The army contract signing bonus is $15k-$35k (depends on the region), then minimum $2000 monthly (extra pay for each battle). Industries are trying to keep up and are raising their salaries - there's a lack of workforce, so they have to compete.
3. Have no idea what you mean about exotic pets. Bears, you mean? Yeah, some (very few) people keep them, but not in their city apartments. Other than that - about the same as in the West: cats, dogs mostly, something exotic is rare.
Honestly, I think it's very rude of the interviewer to ask "spiritual?" when the young woman says beauty.
As if she wanted to say: "Ha, you're not beautiful! Or do you mean on the inside?"
Nobody said "Animal" which we all are.
I would have liked to see someone respond with 'pacifist' or 'anti-war' or something like that. And if someone had done that, I don't think they would have been censored by '1420', so I assume that no one had the courage to define themselves in those terms. Very sad...
I've always defined myself as a pacifist and spoke out against the war.
However, if a random stranger approached me with that question, I highly doubt 'anti-war' is the first word that would come to mind (I'd probably just say I'm a teacher or a poet or name some quality of mine).
People are not supposed to have just one identity, nothing sad about it.
Most people don't define themselves by what their country is doing or not doing. When you ask me who I am, I'll answer in a very indiviual way
